The world's nearly 6,000 languages are celebrated on International Mother Language Day, an event aimed at promoting linguistic diversity and multilingual education.

The day, which will close the International Year of Languages 2008, will include a roundtable attended by grassroots practitioners from around the world, the screening of the film The Linguists and a prize ceremony for the winner of the best 2009 IMLD poster.

It will also identify future activities to take place as a follow up to the International Year of Languages 2008.
